Its the beginning of a new year, which means many new faces. I would like to invite you and your child to a meet and great at the local park in August. This will be a great opportunity to meet each of you on more of an individual basis. I believe it is important that we keep communication between all of us strong. Not only is this a great time to meet you, but it allows you son/daughter to meet me outside of the classroom setting. I want to do whatever I can to make there time in my classroom fun, enjoyable, and as successful as possible.
I hope to see you all there!
Sincerely,
Leslie Neiman

Parent Letter
Dear Parents,
Its the beginning of a new year, which means many new faces. I would like to invite you and your child to a meet and great at the local park in August. This will be a great opportunity to meet each of you on more of an individual basis. I believe it is important that we keep communication between all of us strong. Not only is this a great time to meet you, but it allows you son/daughter to meet me outside of the classroom setting. I want to do whatever I can to make there time in my classroom fun, enjoyable, and as successful as possible.
I hope to see you all there!
